Earth stations require an accurate, ultra-low phase noise frequency reference to support increasing data rates, carrier frequencies, and complex digital modulation.
For optimal performance, some of our products can be configured with the Real-Time-Ionospheric Corrections (RTIC) option. This document illustrates the operation of the RTIC option in a real-world situation.
This document explains the methodology to measure and adjust the timing outputs from an EndRun product to the 10-nanosecond RMS level of agreement with UTC.

Large earth stations host communication systems that provide mission-critical, high-bandwidth services to multiple customers. Within these earth stations are many frequency-based devices with independent local oscillators that generate and convert carrier frequencies, and modulate and demodulate data. Locking these oscillators to a common, stable and low-noise frequency reference distribution system is fundamental to minimizing frequency issues and supporting higher data rates.
The satellite communications infrastructure provides critical services for government and civil applications at increasing carrier frequencies and data rates. Within the ground and space-borne systems are devices that generate microwave level frequencies that form uplinks and downlinks. At the core of these systems are high-quality frequency references that are fundamental to establishing stable, high bandwidth communication links
